• Visiting a Southern Indiana dining institution.

When I think of sus-tainability, the first thing that comes to mind is the environment. Preserving the Earth to the best of our ability. Making things last. Recycling. Those kinds of things.

Have you ever heard of cultural sustainability? I’ll admit I’m not too hip to the concept — but that is about to change.

The Carnegie Center for Art & History is mak-ing cultural sustainability a focus, beginning with an event tonight. That’s right, tonight, so clear the calendar and head to downtown New Albany.

And be sure to visit Carnegie on Friday for “Performing Cultural Sustainability: An Evening of Music & Poetry,” which includes performances and poetry.

The events are in conjunction with Carnegie’s “Held from Beneath: An Exploration of Cultural Sustainability” — also a must-see.

Rory Turner, who founded, launched, and continues to teach in Goucher College’s Master of the Arts in Cultural Sustainability Program, will give a presentation tonight about the movement. Turner will discuss our relationship with the past, our relationships with one another, our relation-ships with a sense of place and nature, and our relationship to the future — the basic tenants of cultural sustainability.

Sustainability generally addresses economic, environmental and societal needs. Cultural sus-tainability covers all those areas, but also looks at people and their relationship to each other and the world around them, Jenna Esarey explains in today’s cover story.

Carnegie administrators admit cultural sustain-ability is not easy to explain. But I think we can all agree it’s important to understand.

EW ALBANY — Administrators at the Carnegie Center for Art & History admit the current exhibit’s focus on cultural sustain-

ability can be a bit of a head-scratcher — but it is vitally important to protecting our collective identity.

Exploring Southern Indiana’s cultural sustain-ability —protecting and enhancing the region’s unique cultural traditions using a number of platforms — is the main theme for the exhibit, “Held From Beneath: An Exploration of Cultural Sustainability” that continues into April.

“This has not been an easy exhibit to explain,” said Carnegie Center Director Sally Newkirk. “It’s a difficult concept. The artists had a lot of flexibility in how they would interpret the theme. Everything is so different. Some of it is pretty conceptual.”

Supplemental events kick off tonight with a talk on cultural sustainability by a leading scholar in the field, an evening of music and poetry on Friday and the final weeks of the main exhibit, which closes April 4.

Rory Turner will talk about cultural sustain-ability tonight as he presents “Elements of a Sustainable and Sustaining Culture.” Turner, as-sistant professor of sociology and anthropology at Goucher College in Baltimore, is the founding academic director of the Master of Arts in Cul-tural Sustainability program at the school.

He co-founded the Maryland Traditions program and served as the program director for

folk and traditional arts and program initiative specialist at the Maryland State Arts Council. He received his master’s and PhD from Indiana University in 1992 and 1998 respectively.

In his talk, Turner will explore key elements of sustainable communities, including our relation-ship with the past, with one another, with a sense of place and nature, and to the future.

“The question that arises is, what does a sustainable culture look like?” Turner said. “It’s not our place to claim a particular answer to it. It becomes an individual responsibility to look at how can the ways that we participate economi-cally and socially with the world be part of the sustainable culture of the world.”

“There are things that have value. It shows up on the bottom line. It’s about making places au-thentic destinations that take pride in who they are and what they have to offer.”

On Friday, the center presents “Performing Cultural Sustainability: An Evening of Music & Poetry.” Camera Lucida, comprised of Roxell Karr and Jon Silpayamanant, will perform, along with Cynthia Norton/Ninnie Noises and Sara Louise Soltau. Erin Keane and Russel Hulsey will

read poetry. All are contributing artists in the “Held From Beneath” exhibit.

Turner visited the center and the participat-ing artists for a daylong workshop on cultural sustainability.

“They were amazing,” he said of the partici-pating artists. “I’m really looking forward to seeing the completed exhibit and seeing what they’ve been up to.”

The meeting took place in conjunction with planning session for YES! Fest Louisville 2015, a yearlong festival focusing on the environment and sustainability.

“We talked about what people love about where they are — about the Louisville area,” Turner said. “We saw that there were common threads. People realized that there is something really special that needs to be addressed and cared for. Who better to think about their place with a sense of care than artists?

“That was kind of a cool thing with these artists. They took it and ran with it in their own ways. To me, that’s just fine. We need to spark a conversation about the intersection of these two critical concepts: culture and sustainability.”

The resulting exhibit runs the gamut from works of art to poetry and music, and includes paintings, audio and video recordings and textile pieces.

Two artists explore the use of native plant spe-cies, indigo and black current.

Joyce Ogden created “Current Exchange,” inviting visitors to swap an item they feel repre-sents sustainable agriculture in exchange for one of 24 engraved terra cotta pots. On the last day of the exhibit participants can retrieve their item and receive a current plant for their pot.

Rowland Ricketts “Link” is interactive as well, inviting guests to cut circles and create buttons from fabric he has died with indigo grown and processed in Bloomington.

Camera Lucida’s piece, “Argus Speaks; Poly-phemus Listens,” features a jumble of televisions and monitors displaying a kaleidoscopic image of water with the ambient sounds of children at play and adults speaking in the background.

Cultural ConneCtionsJust what is cultural

sustainability?“It’s a provocative concept,” said Rory

Turner, assistant professor of sociology and anthropology at Goucher College

in Baltimore and the founding academic director of the Master of Arts in Cultural

Sustainability program at the school. “When I say the phrase to people, it’s

usually like a little bit of a pause. What is that? What does that mean?”

Sustainable development, as defined by the World Commission on Environment

and Development in 1987, is meeting the needs of the present without com-promising the ability of future genera-

tions to meet their own needs.Sustainability is most often discussed

in terms of planning and development, economics and the environment. But

new perspectives have been explored in recent years in an area called cultural

sustainability.Goucher College defines it as a field

focused on actively identifying, protect-ing, and enhancing cultural traditions

through activism, fieldwork, academic scholarship, and grassroots communi-

cations.Using cultural and applied anthropol-

ogy, folklore, ethnomusicology, history, communications, cultural tourism, and

more, cultural sustainability encourages communities to consider what matters

most and to act on their response.Cultures, traditions, and communities

to be sustained can include a neighbor-hood, occupation, art form, skill, village,

city, ethnic group, religious or spiritual group, tribe, or any other community

with shared traditions and values.Sustainability generally addresses

economic, environmental and societal needs. Cultural sustainability covers all

those areas, but also looks at people and their relationship to each other and

the world around them.According to the Virginia Folklife

Society, when we understand what is important to us, “we make decisions

about the future that are informed by who we were, who we are, and who we

would like to be.” — Jenna Esarey

Three firefighters spenttwo weeks in New York


JEFFERSONVILLE —A group of Jeffersonvillefirefighters have returnedfrom helping out with Hur-ricane Sandy recovery andsaid help there is ongoing.

Jeffersonville Fire De-partment Maj. Michael Mc-Cutcheon, Maj. TravisSharp and Capt. RickVanGilder spent nearly twoweeks in Long Beach,N.Y., organizing relief ef-forts for the city of more

than 30,000 people follow-ing the October hurricane.

The work was more pa-per-filing than pulling peo-ple from homes, but theirservices were greatly need-ed as the entire four-milelong island had been cov-ered by water during thesurging storm.

JFD Chief Eric Hedricksaid the need for relief serv-ices — after initial crewsconduct search and rescueefforts — are often under-estimated.

“After immediate re-sponse to save lives, thereare still efforts needed formonths and months,”Hedrick said.

SWAT Team deployed in New Albany incident


NEW ALBANY —Floyd County Metro SWATTeam was called out earlySunday morning to assist inextracting a man from hishome.

James Ross, 56, of 3770Gap Hollow Road, wassuspected of assaulting his14-year-old grandson andkeeping him in the homeagainst his will, the FloydCounty Sheriff’s Depart-ment said.

The child used Facebookto contact his aunt, whoalerted authorities aboutmidnight. Officers first re-sponded to the home about1:30 a.m., officials said.

No one would come tothe door, even though offi-

cers suspected the homewas occupied, said JasonJones, Floyd County Sher-iff’s Department officer andassistant SWAT command-er.

Jones, who acted as theincident commander, saidofficers spent the next sev-eral hours receiving infor-mation from the boy’s auntand attempted to make con-tact to the occupants in thehome. He said authoritieswere not sure if the boywas in the home or if theaccusations were valid.

Jones said at one pointduring the investigation, thehome’s land phone line wasdisconnect by a resident.

The aunt told officers thatRoss kept a large firearmarsenal in the home. TheSWAT unit arrived at thehome about 6:15 a.m. andRoss and the boy exited the
